I have a question.

I installed on an old PC freeNAS on the first (primary) partition.
Then i restored my windows XP ghost image on my second primary partition.

After this i installed grub4dow on the MBR.

Now my menu.lst looks like this:

title Boot FreeNAS\nStart windowsXP from Partition 1

(...)?



title Boot MSWINXP\nStart windowsXP from Partition 2

fallback 1

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr

map () (hd0)

map (hd0) ()

map --rehook

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr

chainloader /ntldr

savedefault --wait=2

As you can see... i don't know how to boot (INSTALLED) FreeNAS from 1st partition...
Could someone please help me out...
The ISO booted correctly with chainloader code and mapping etc. But now i want to boot the installed FreeNAS...
And that is not working for me...

title FREENAS

root (hd0,0)

chainloader +1

Provided that FreeNAS boots from a bootsector on first partition AND that it uses a filesystem, like EXT2/3 that grub4dos can access.

If I may , you also appear like NOT knowing what you are doing when booting XP.

This part in second entry:

fallback 1

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr

map () (hd0)

map (hd0) ()

map --rehook

...

savedefault --wait=2

is seemingly unneeded/unmotivated

I.e. all you need is:

title Boot MSWINXP\nStart windowsXP from Partition 2

find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /ntldr

chainloader /ntldr
